The Gulivers shopping center in Pavlograd, Dnipropetrovsk region, is temporarily closed following a Russian strike on September 10. This was announced by its administration.
"Currently, the shopping center building is damaged, and work is underway to address the consequences and assess the damage. The shopping center is temporarily closed," the statement said.
As a result of the Russian attack on the shopping center in Pavlograd on Thursday, five people were killed and more than 60 were injured.
Systematic Target
Since the beginning of the full-scale war, as of the end of July, over 38 Ukrainian shopping centers with a total area of 1.4 million square meters have suffered losses or been destroyed. Some facilities have been damaged repeatedly, such as Kvadrat shopping center and the capital's Blockbuster Mall.
- On August 21, Russians struck the Solnechna Galereya shopping center – the largest in Kryvyi Rih – with drones. Sixteen people were killed, including children, about 130 people sustained injuries and wounds. Nine more people are considered missing.
- On the night of August 22, occupiers destroyed one of the shopping centers in Kherson with drones.
- As a result of a Russian attack on August 25, the Caravan shopping center in the Dnipro suburb was damaged. It partially resumed operations on August 28.
The Caravan's experience shows that some facilities return to operation within days of the strike. Whether Gulivers will follow this scenario will depend on the extent of structural damage, which specialists are currently assessing.
